Anti-nuclear NVDA Campaign To Be Launched In Madrid
European peace and environmental activists who met in Belgium this March decided on a new international campaign of civil disobedience to uphold international law to abolish nuclear weapons. July 8 is the first anniversary of the decision by the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) on how international law applies to nuclear weapons. On this first anniversary of the ICJ-decision, NATO leaders, meeting in Madrid will be startled to receive a visit from a Spanish bailiff with a summons: unless they carry out radical legal surgery on NATO's nuclear weapons policy in accordance with international law, they will be confronted with a campaign of nonviolent direct action to remind them of their obligations under international law. On Saturday August 9th, the anniversary of Nagasaki, non-violent direct actions will take place at different 'sites of crime' around the globe, i.e. nuclear weapon laboratories and depots.
